Professor N. A. Vovos has been a member of the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Patras University since 1981 and he was Head of the department in the time period 2003-2007 and deputy Head in period 2001-2003. His main fields of interest are: analysis, control and protection of HVDC systems, flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) and Custom Power (CP) devices, dynamic simulation and interaction study of AC/DC systems including FACTS and CP devices, load flow and transient stability methods for AC/DC systems, improvement of the transient stability of AC/DC systems including FACTS and CP devices using power modularity techniques, dynamic simulation and study of thyristor drives and renewable energy sources for rural electricity, dispersed generation and artificial intelligence techniques in power systems. In the previous fields he has been teaching and searching for more than 40 years and has been directed more than 20 research projects funded by industry and EU. He is the author of seven books, two exercises books and he has more than 100 publications. He is life senior member of IEEE, SC14 and SC C2 of CIGRE and is active in a number of working groups. With his proposal, the Interdepartmental Master's Program "Distributed Green Electric Power and the Advanced Network Infrastructure for its Management and Economy " was approved in 2014 by the General Assemblies of the Special Composition of the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Technology and Physics. The Ministry of Education approved the Master's Program on August 13, 2014. Upon the launch of the Master's degree program in 2015, he was elected Director of the program and served in this position until his retirement in 2018. He drafted the study regulations of the Interdepartmental Master's Program, organized, and operated the program by selecting modern courses and suitable teachers, organized the bureaucratic processes and operated the program website. He also wrote the Diploma Supplement in Greek and English. After the approval of the new law on postgraduate studies, he worked and organized the new Postgraduate Studies Regulation for its re-establishment. Today the Interdepartmental Master's Program operates under the name "Green Power Systems: Smart Technologies and Management Strategies".
